TO LETTER. WRITERS.

We are in receipt of q letter bitterly
attacking a certain party, to which is
attached a name which, OF inquiry, we
learn to be fictitious. If an editor has a
fight on his hands, he is obliged to
attack his antagonist over or under his
own name, but it occur quite frequently
that he is led into a fight for some one
else, who is afraid or ashamed to put his
own name under an attack, and signs an
alias thereto. We have made it q rule
and shall hereafter strictly adhere to it,
that when a person comes to us with an
article to which he has not the moral
courage to sign his name, but puts an
alias in its place, to direct him to an-
other market, Newspaper men, as a
general thing, have about all they can
attend to in exposing rascality, dishon-
estv, and keeping their readers fully
informed upon the interesting topics of
the day, and also putting in their hard
est ticks for their own, as well as the
advancement of their town. 1t is there
fore plain that those who are either
afraid or ashamed to make statements or
express opinions above their own name,
have not a claim upon the editor to the
extent of having him take up their bat
ties, while they throw venom from be-
hind a hedge. But some people, we

AS TO BILLINGS POLITICS.

A large-sized howl comes this week
from Billings. For several years. John
Tinker has held the office of deputy
district clerk for Yellowstone county.
That he has filled the Office ably and
well, none will attempt to deny. But,
being an out and out Republican, he has
lived in constant dread for the past two
years lest the Office be bestowed upon a
worthy Democrat, and was not greatly
surprised when he was ordered to relin-
quish his hold upon the public teat and
give way to Col. Rowley. Rowley no
sooner received notice Of his appoint
ment, than Yellowstone county was
placed in the fourth district, Judge Bach
presiding, when Chief Clerk McFarlane
placed a representative of another Dem
ocratic faction in the Office, in the person
of Leslie Bates. To this, it is intimated,
Judge Bach d~issented, and Ben
Toole of Helena was given the office.
Now Ben ia a full brother ofHon. Joe, and
those disgruntled will in all probability
loudly protest against an outsider being
placed in an office that is usually and
rightfullv given to a resident of the
county, and a few NAV be tempted to
say that Joseph Toole's influence was
that which secured his brother the posi-.
ton; a statement far from the truth,
however, as our delegate was not con-
suited, and had he been, everyone knows
he would not have endorsed his brother
for the very reason that some may claim
that he did do SO. As far as the CHRoN'
IcLE is concerned, it has very little sym
pathy for the Billings Democrats. Fol
nearly six months they have been fight
ing among themselves for this importan'
plum. At least eight applicants were il
the field for the Office, and upon eacf
\ and every petition appear the signature
or the same men. The publication o
these signatures, were it possible to pro
cure them, would indeed be a revelation
and prove beyond the shadow of
doubt that the Democrats of Billing
do not know what they want, and tina
Clerk McFarlane has done them a posi-
tive favor by taking it upon himself ant
providing them with a good citizen ant
a gentleman we'll qualified to fill tn
position in question,

We present this week a copy of Ken
nedy's estray bill, which will undoubt-
eddy become a law. The only important
objection to the bill which we find, is
the section which compels the animal to
be kept up and unused two years before
it ran be sold. 1t would have to be a
very valuable animal that would not
"eat its head off" in that period Of idle.

United States,

We hoped that by the beginning Of the
CHRoN1cLE's new year,all those who knew
themselves to be indebted to us would
'pungle" without futher dunning; but
such is not the case. The newspaper
business in the thinly-populated regions
of the far west. at best is not a bonanza

counts that should be paid in advance to
run unpaid year after year calculated to
be of benefit to the printers. Pay up every
year while the amount is small and keep
the publisher ina good humor.

A considerable degree of opposition
has been brought to bear against the
present variety theatre bill, now up. The
opposition comes almost wholly from
Butte, where parties have advanced
money to carry on the business, and
would suffer a considerable loss were the
business to be suddenly closed. The
Helena varieties has met a timely death,
hastened, no doubt, by the wholesome
agitation of this matter,

Tg. Donnelly, the bright, ready-witted
Irish orator of Minnesota, has formally
declared his eternal allegiance to the
Republican party. Ig. was the thorn

to be glad. With a neness of purpose,
Donnelly could have been a U. s. sem

appreciate his talents, the tactics of a
time.serve became too plain, and he
has reached the highest point possible
